Marvel: The Tokyo Avengers

🔺 "To fight monsters wearing the faces of your heroes… you must choose: mercy or war."

Recap:

Tokyo is under siege — not from demons, not from gods — but from corrupted legends.

Former X-Men Cyclops, Storm, Nightcrawler, and now Iceman have been twisted by Mr. Sinister's Project GENOME, their powers rewired, their minds scrambled.

Mr. Sinister watches from above, rewriting DNA as if composing poetry.

And the Tokyo Avengers?

They now face the question no hero should ever ask:

"What if the only way to save them… is to destroy them?"

🌆 [ACT I — 9:12 PM | Tokyo Base Rooftop]

Rain pelts the glass canopy above the Tokyo Avengers' base.

Flickers of corrupted power still linger in the air — scorched neon and static from Sinister's interference.

Inside the war room, all five current members — Kuro Ōkami, Nekoburst, Starwave, Scarlet Onna, and Onmyo Flare — stare at flickering holograms of the corrupted X-Men.

KURO (arms crossed, low growl):

"We can't hold back again. They nearly broke us."

NEKOBURST (tail flicking):

"They're not people anymore. They're ticking bombs."

STARWAVE (fingers drumming):

"They were legends. Now they're viral trauma."

SCARLET ONNA (quietly, sewing a glowing thread into a talisman):

"But I can still feel their spirit. Somewhere under all that corruption… they remember."

ONMYO FLARE:

"Then we'll find a way to unbind them — even if we bleed doing it."

Suddenly — the room pulses with pink light.

Heartlight walks in from the rooftop, wings soaked, eyes pained.

HEARTLIGHT (softly):

"There's a way. But it'll require more than fighting."

NEKOBURST (rolling her eyes):

"Please don't say love again."

HEARTLIGHT (smiling faintly):

"Not just love. Memory."

🌀 [ACT II — Enter the Memory Shrine]

The team follows Heartlight to a hidden location — a forgotten Mutant Shrine beneath Tokyo's subway line, once used by Professor Xavier's students during international outreach.

Lit by flickering candles and ancient mutant carvings, the shrine pulses with ambient psychic energy.

ONMYO FLARE (placing charms):

"If we bind their essence here, I can open their fractured memories long enough for a reset."

SCARLET ONNA:

"Thread and spell. Sound and memory. Claw and clarity. We do this together."

The plan:

Scarlet Onna and Onmyo Flare will weave a psychic-physical binding trap.

Heartlight will use emotion-mirroring to resonate with their hearts.

Nekoburst and Kuro will bait the corrupted mutants back into the shrine.

KURO:

"I'll drag them in, one by one, even if I have to take a hit for each."

NEKOBURST (grinning, cracking her neck):

"Call it payback with heart."

⚔️ [ACT III — Operation: Redemption Hunt]

Scene: Shinjuku District — where Corrupted Nightcrawler glitches through the train station, attacking flickering lights.

Kuro and Nekoburst launch in.

Kuro grapples him mid-teleport, locking claws.

Nekoburst bursts around, kicking Nightcrawler into a shadow-loop trap created by Scarlet Onna.

NEKOBURST:

"This is for grabbing my face last time, you freaky church ninja."

CORRUPTED NIGHTCRAWLER (flickering):

"...mother said I was holy… I was holy…"

They drag him into the shrine.

ONMYO FLARE (chanting):

"Memory circle… open…"

As Nightcrawler enters the circle, it glows white-hot.

Heartlight steps forward, placing a glowing palm on his chest.

HEARTLIGHT (whispering):

"You're not alone. You were a hero once."

FLASHBACK SHARD flashes through the air — images of young Kurt Wagner smiling with the X-Men, helping children, protecting cities.

NIGHTCRAWLER (eyes flicker):

"...I remember…"

And then — he screams.

His body purges a black shard of energy from his tail, cracking the corruption.

SCARLET ONNA (amazed):

"It's working!"

❄️ [ACT IV — The Counterattack]

Suddenly — ice shards crash through the shrine roof.

Corrupted Iceman has found them.

He lands, shrieking silently, and impales Onmyo Flare with an ice spear.

ONMYO FLARE (grimacing):

"He's colder than death…"

Kuro and Nekoburst go in, but Iceman adapts, shifting into glacial armor, stomping the floor to cause an avalanche effect.

Heartlight can't reach him — his love aura repels off the ice.

SCARLET ONNA:

"He's sealed his own memories away. We can't use heartlight alone…"

Starwave arrives with a plan.

STARWAVE:

"Then we beat the rhythm back into him."

She kicks the ground, sending sonic tremors that break the ice field and open fractures in Iceman's armor.

STARWAVE (charging):

"Listen to your old beats, Bobby Drake! You were a hero! Not a weapon!"

With coordinated hits from Kuro's claws and Nekoburst's bursting kicks, they expose Iceman's core.

Heartlight launches a pulse of purified empathy, this time laced with Onmyo Flare's charm embedded.

A heart-shaped sigil burns across Iceman's chest — and he finally collapses.

🧪 [ACT V — Sinister's Interference]

As the team catches their breath…

VOICE (echoing):

"You're fixing the wrong past."

Mr. Sinister appears mid-air, swirling with data and synthetic smoke.

SINISTER:

"I was going to save you all. But clearly… I need stronger samples."

He unleashes Corrupted Rogue — a flying nightmare of siphoning tendrils and crimson streaks.

HEARTLIGHT (horrified):

"She'll absorb your soul… if she touches you."

KURO (drawing claws):

"Then we make sure she can't touch anything."

The episode ends with the team preparing for battle.
